Python

Python applications can log to Seq through the Python logging API with seqlog (recommended), with pygelf and GELF, or via direct HTTP and JSON.

seqlog

The seqlog package implements a Python logging adapter for Seq:

# Indexer-style
logging.info("Hello, %s!", "World")

# Message template style
logging.info("Hello, {name}!", name="World")

The detailed project documentation includes full configuration and usage examples.

The project is independently developed on GitHub.

pygelf with GELF via UDP

pygelf is a GELF logging handler for Python.

1. Enable the Seq GELF input

See the instructions in Using GELF.

2. Install pygelf

$ pip install pygelf

3. Configure the GelfUdpHandler

from pygelf import GelfUdpHandler
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.addHandler(GelfUdpHandler(host='127.0.0.1', port=12201))

4. Log some events!

logger.info('Hello, Seq+GELF!')

HTTP/JSON

Python applications can alternatively use the HTTP API to post events as raw JSON documents.
